News for you, not everyone has an AIX infrastructure. Stop spreading lies and FUD. Is that you Larry?, read my other comment below

Larry should consider what threatening to sue long time customers, intimidating long time customers, being disrespectful to long time customers, will get him.

Another scam Oracle pulling on enterprise level customers is forcing virtualized customers to buy its hardware platform, claiming that virtualization as done by the major players means all physical hardware in the cluster could potentially run Oracle so must be licensed.

You lie, mysql/maria will corrupt and lose data. I've seen it again and again. Those are toys used by developers that don't know any better and so stick with the simple things they know, then businesses get stuck with that juvenile level of decision making.

Postgresql however is robust enough for mission critical data, though high performance clusters such as can be built with Oracle are not possible. No DBMS is a drop in replacement for Oracle, re-coding would be necessary.

Great to have a distro (or any open source project for that matter) that values user feedback and tries to meet needs, rather than having "churn and feature churn for change and hype's sake", and also for taking conservative approach to radical new things that are yet immature or just badly engineered

Your money exists in those systems; good? bad? they own your butt

how odd, I eat at restaurants that use simple ingredients of food. I'd say don't buy 70% of what is at the typical grocery store.

rookie?

TOPS-10 had releases 1970 to 1988, but the Z/OS and Z/VM operating systems can run programs and their job control back into the 1960s and it's still current.

but it isn't their music, they made a cartel to force artists to belong as the only way to get paid. they bribed lawmakers to extend copyright to absurd lengths of time and to absurd levels. they are parasites.

What, no happy face Microsoft Bob button?

you're very confused, the traitor against We the People is the United States Government. Snowden did a great job of waking people up to that truth. The agents and actions of the United States in other countries are not honorable, but only those of a bully, power and wealth grubber, thief, murderer.

the problem is that anyone with brains will not trust someone else with their data

The red shirts would be immune to the missing stormtrooper fire but would nevertheless be killed by other incidents and accidents. I would send in Ewoks to handle the storm troopers, hopefully there are many useful trees in the neighborhood. Ewoks are a budget friendly resource, instead of pay one just tells them to "do it for the trees".

He did no such thing, he walked with a toy blaster that does not look like any gun nor weapon employed on this planet. Our society is devolving into a bunch of psychological marshmallows.

or just go with what Feynman said, it's experimentally unverifiable and thus nonsense and a waste of time
